at Spokane. Enterprise dropped

A BRIEF SKETCH OF ITS HIS
TORY TO THE PRES
ENT TIME.
A Most Interesting Record
Of Growth.
BY II. r, cowLEY,

The mystic force in tho reign Of pro-
gress, which has transformed bar
barous Indian rendezvous of twenty
tepees int civilized community Of
eight thousand souls in less than eight
summers, claims red letter page in
history. 1t is worthy Of record in
parallel pages with the chronicles of
those sturdy young cities, Chicago,
Omaha, Denver, Minneapolis, St Paul
and Kansas City, whose giant strides
in development arc the wonder OF the
Nineteenth century. The plans OF
the Great Architect OF the universe,
aud the inspired enterprise and yearn-
ing for greater deeds amongst the
sons of men, have welded IN the valley
OF the Spokane river, midway between
the Cascades and the Rockies, to
build mighty monument to the de-
signing mind Of the Creator and the
sturdy enterprise Of His creatures.
It was radiant day in the month
Of June, 1874, when the writer, ac-
eompanied by four or five young Nez
Perces Indians as guides and helpers,
halted for few moments on the bluff
south of the falls to admire the ind de-
scribable quiet and beauty of the
groves Of pine which interspersed the
intervening plain, and listened. en-
tranced, to the dreamy murmur of the
cataract. Descending, they pitched
their camp opposite the upper rapids
and laved their dust-begrimed faces
in the limpd river. After q brief
rest, the wiiter sought the little settle
mentwhich had preceded him ono year,
and found it to consist of Mr.. and
Mrs. jas. NJ. Glover and MIR. and Mrs.
Cyrus +. Yeaton and their charming
little daughter Luella. The sum total
OF the embryo hamlet consisted of
two "box" structures, built contiguous,
one OF which was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Glover as domicile and the
other as store, kept by Mr.. Yeaton,
with living rooms in the rear, on the
site where J. W. Glcvsr's livery
stables DOW stand. These were the
nucleus and headquarters. Besides,
there were couple Of transient fam
lilies, who we're helpers in the rather
rude muley sawmill, built on the site
OF the works Of the Spokane Mill Co.
OF to-day. This mill, and a few lum-
bermen's rude shanties, Mr.. Glover
had found in the spring Of 1878, on
his first prospecting trip into the Spo.
kane country, attracted by the pro.
bable selection Of the new Northern
PaaiAs Railroad company Of the Spo

spectOr, who had pu, hOriiy to
cUnvoke The Indians 0f east

movement Of troops was for
the several purposes of blO.k.
tng the possible return uf The
hOstiles through the Mullan

ana establ shiCg the security
OF the Infant settlements.
The great council was held In
the presence Of The troops, who
had en"amped betw ween Rlv.
erslde avenue and tbs river,
on llavcrmui-'s addition. All
the tribes summoned were
present exccp. lhM Of Moses,
who refused to appear. Aside
from the confidence inspired
In the settlements by the visit
Of the troops, the only result
was the decision NJ Gen. Sher-
man, who passed through later
In tho season with an escort
"f 80 cavalry To establish n
post at COeur d'Aiene lake,
and the wintering uf two cum
panies Of Infantry u. the Falls,
preparatory to building the
tort In the spring following.
Herbert and MyrOn Perciva1,
l.. w. Rinla, DR.. Masterson
and several others arrived dur
ing the fall. The building uf
the gu ,rters for the s'Ilditry,
ana husiness created by their
presence, presented marked
contrast to the previous win
tiers, and Inspired new conf
dence that the country would
come Out all right. Mr.. Post
had so far completed his mill
that he began to turnout hDur,

the failure Of JAY Cooke, was not an
attractive one. Mr.. Glover, howev-
er, went vigorously To work, deter

July, Mr.. Mathews aud Mr.. Yeatun
and family arrived and touk charge
Of the new purchase, while Mr.. Glov-
or returned tO Portland to select n
| stock Of gOods and order an entirely
new outfit Of machinery for the sa "
mill, returning by the middle Of
August with his wife. The INA.
chinery was put In operation late in
the faii, and before winter hai set in
they had turned out over 100, 400 feet
of lumber and put up ~ store room

now located, as well as at Treni, but
the faint prospects Of the early con-

prompted him to east his lot with
ihe little settlement at Spokane,

acquisition was hailed with delight.
